COVID update
December 13
There are 37 new COVID cases in Otsego County, according to the Otsego County Department of Health, including a total of 340 active cases with 10 hospitalizations. No new deaths have been reported.
There is a 9.1% positivity rate in the county.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced over the weekend that masks will be required in all public places starting today until January 15, 2022.
Businesses are required to enforce a mask mandate within their stores for all those above the age of two. Violations are subject to a fine of up to $1000.
AllOtsego.com made multiple attempts to contact the DOH but were unable to get through.
Mandates are not laws and it has been announced by the State that individual counties will make the decisions on whether or not they will enforce any of these “pronouncements” which have no basis in law, nor official pronouncement of the details (who will assess, enforce or collect any “penalties”. 7 surrounding counties have announced they will not enforce any of these supposed requirements.
Unfortunately, much of the State goes on destroying itself in self flattery or media induced fear, of loss of job or profit from collusion with this attack on the freedom and well being of the Nation.
Small business should develop a collective backbone and activist agency if they should have any hopes of surviving this never ending attack on independence and self determination. Otherwise, it is reported that Otsego now has more Sheep than Cows, though the BS runs as thick as ever!!
